You will work with customers, vendors, and our field and production teams to make sure projects are properly priced, clearly communicated, and successfully executed.Is This You?You take ownership of your work. You catch the details other people miss on a set of plans before they turn into a change order nobody wants to eat. You finish takeoffs and bids without someone checking in three times to see if they're done.You ask the customer the right question before the job gets priced wrong, not after it's already lost money in the field. You take pride in building an accurate estimate, winning the job, and handing it off clean so the field team isn't chasing you down for missing scope.You communicate directly with customers, vendors, and your own team, including the conversations that aren't easy, like a scope change or a number that doesn't work.You want feedback because you want to get better at the trade, not because someone's making you. You're organized, competitive, and "close enough" isn't how you estimate a job.If you want a job where someone walks you through every step, this isn't it.
